Will my mannequin be home when I return

Third Prize Winner

Third Prize Winner Gomma Grant 2016.

"WILL MY MANNEQUIN BE HOME WHEN I RETURN (abbrev: MANNEQUIN) is a quasi-fictional narrative with north India as its backdrop. It is the first installment of an existential photography trilogy that explores the human condition.

Nighttime is often when both humans and animals revert to their truest and most intense physical and psychological states. MANNEQUIN looks at the night and life that subsists in nightly spaces, often in direct and brutal confrontation with each other." AD
